What BUSI 435 Week 3 Feasibility Analysis asks for
You write a feasibility analysis of at least 8 pages for a business you would like to study or consider creating.

It needs at least 10 outside sources in current APA. It is due in Module/Week 3 with Scarborough chapters 5 to 7. Worth 150 points.

The BUSI 435 Week 3 method, step by step
Set up the data before the write-up
Work through the Feasibility Analysis calculations or software steps first and save the output. The written part interprets those numbers, so they have to be right before you explain them.
Show the method
Say which method, formula or test you used and why it fits the question. Graders want to see that the choice was deliberate.
Report the results plainly
Give the key figures in a labeled table and mention each in the text.
Interpret in the context of the question
Explain what the results mean for the decision or question in BUSI 435, in plain terms. The interpretation is where the analysis points are earned.
Name the limits
Name the assumptions and limits. A result with its limits stated reads as professional.
Submit the files the guide asks for
Check which files Canvas expects (spreadsheet, output, written document) and that each is complete and labeled (At least 8 pages).
End with a clear verdict (go, revise, or stop) and the assumptions it depends on, which the business plan will then build on.

Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
The target market is dog owners in a county of 180,000 residents. With national data indicating that a large share of households own a dog, the county has tens of thousands of dog-owning households. Three daycare facilities serve the area, all within 10 miles of the city center, leaving the growing northern suburbs without a nearby option. Of 60 owners surveyed in those suburbs, 24 said they would use a daycare at least weekly within a 15-minute drive.
